Problem with exporting

[BreehzeeCB]

What is your operating system?
Windows 10 Pro

What is your Shotcut version (see Help > About Shotcut)? Is it 32-bit?

Shotcut version 20.11.25

Can you repeat the problem? If so, what are the steps?
(Please be specific and use the names as seen in Shotcut, preferably English. Include a screenshot or screen recording if you can. Also, you can attach logs from either View > Application Log or right-click a job and choose View Log.)

It is not a bug. It is a problem on your system or usage. See the line in the Job Log window “Could not open…” It means for whatever reason Shotcut is not allowed to write that file; it was blocked by the Windows operating system for a number of possible reasons.

@shotcut

ing system for a number of p

Is there a way to fix that?

Try again with a different file name. Try a different folder or drive. I am not totally sure as I never have a problem like this. I know other people have, and you can try searching here on “export could not open” But many people who solve their own problem do not provide an update about what worked for them. Please do if you figure it out.

See this one (which is in the FAQ BTW)

Export fails with "[consumer avformat] Could not open"

So i have no idea what any of what you said means lol , however, what you said sounded like something i heard before about the app not having permission to place files where it needed to. To fix that, i had to allow the app through the controlled folder access (quick start menu search will bring it up). So this time I turned controlled folder access off & tried again & now it’s rendering! Yaay! lol Hopefully it goes all the way through–if not i’ll come back lol …
